Well I bought Dawnguard on sale for $10 and the .esm is not even enabled yet as I dropped Skyrim for months at a time and am only like halfway through the main quest. Not quite ready to enable even more content. So I will wait until DB is on sale too; perhaps Fourth of July sale.

So, havent played this in forever. How long do you guys think it will take for mods to be able to be used with the new DLC. I haven't modded this game at all with any of the DLC yet, so curious how it's been so far with that.

I was on skyrim nexus last night looking through newest mods and there are already quite a number of retextures and stuff of brand new dragonborn dlc armors. Just picked up the game again like a week ago, hadn't hardly touched it in quite a while.

Did a fresh reinstall with no mods and started getting ones I wanted. There's a few I don't think I could live without anymore. The game sucked me back in, lol. I loves it again

Dawnguard was fun got that for $10 on steam sale during the holidays but no steam sales means GMG wins and for $16 i find it will be worth it not at first no but new armors means new mods and textures and i cant wait to see some Bonemold retextures.

It seems more expensive yes but look back at Bloodmoon expansion for Morrowind roughly same amount of content and it cost the same back then as Dragonborn does now from what i remember i paid $15-20 for blood moon when it came out Dragonborn is $20 now, with Green man Gaming its $16 so essentially Bethesda's larger DLCs cost about the same as they did 10 years ago. You wont see me complain about it compared to previous fails like Horse Armor for $2.50 etc this is a good deal. If you like Elder Scrolls game there is alot here to love.

You also have to keep modders in mind as time goes on what they can do with the new content and locations can be amazing.

I'm not too worried about retextures for the new content. Those can usually be thrown in at anytime since it's simply a retexture. I'm mostly thinking about other types of mods that alter the game. Since the best way to install those is for a fresh save.
